Fully integrated with vBulletin and easily integrated with third party scripts:
Many hacks allow you to specify a points system by entering the table and column for the points data. Use TABLE: user COLUMN: credits when integrating vBCredits with such hacks (note: you may need to include your table prefix with some hacks)! If you are unsure about integration - ask me!

Why is this version not the gold version yet?
vBCredits 1.4rc1 went through a long bugtesting process at the official site, and rc2 is largely bug free in its entirety. However, *it is missing most of the admin help and post/thread deletion actions are temporarily removed while I figure out how to fix them.

Footnotes:
Thank you for using vBCredits, I would be happy to hear your feedback and correct anything that comes up. For more tailored support, please indicate you have installed this hack, and if you like it you can nominate this for MOTM. Use of this free hack requires that you retain the copyright line at the bottom of the forum (PM me otherwise). If you do not agree with this, please do not use vBCredits - thank you for your understanding and support!

Hi Darkwaltz4,

I am hoping for your help with getting VBCredits to appear within profiles for 3.7 I have made sure I have implemented the following...

================================
Template: memberinfo_block_statistics
================================
FIND:
--------------------------------
<if condition="$vboptions['usereferrer']"><li><span class="shade">$vbphrase[referrals]:</span> $prepared[referrals]</li></if>
--------------------------------
ADD BELOW:
--------------------------------
<if condition="$show['credits_profile']"><li><span class="shade">$vbphrase[credits]:</span> $userinfo[credits] <if condition="$show['credits_donate']">[<a href="credits.php?$session[sessionurl]do=manage&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]#donate">$vbphrase[donate]</a>]</if> <if condition="$show['credits_award']">[<a href="credits.php?$session[sessionurl]do=award&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[award]</a>]</if> <if condition="$show['credits_check']">[<a href="credits.php?$session[sessionurl]do=banking&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[check]</a>]</if></li></if>

Yet the field is still not appearing in profiles under "Statistics" area - let alone anywhere else?

Thanks in advance

[Big Boss]

I need to know whether this is going to work just fine on 3.7.0 or not. Also, when is the bug-free version of the hack going to be released? Any further information?

[cheat-master30]

It works just fine on 3.7.0. From what I can tell.

check the following:
in your global settings, is visibility set to all or private?
in your usergroup settings, are you a member of group locked from vbcredits?
in your usergroup settings, is the group of the person you are looking at locked from vbcredits, or set to hide their credit totals?

I have a pro addon for this, however you will have to ask me about it in a PM, or visit vbcredits.com for more information

This version is made specifically to work with vb3.7 and was verified to work on it (naturally ). There are some extremely minor bugs left which have been reported to me (if you find more please tell me!), but the main bug which is holding back from a gold version release has been removed for the rc2 version while i recode it. it was in the code for threads/posts get moderated. now, moderation does nothing automatically while i work to recode it for 1.4 gold. otherwise, even banking and loans are fully operational

A few comments and a problem!.

While this is an OUTSTANDING script I really wish you guys would have spent time on the store that has been in the works forever. Personally, I feel you guys have made this WAY TOO complex. Again, it is an OUTSTANDING script and I am grateful. I have been willing to pay $50-$100 for an amazing store for nearly a year now. You have one part of what I feel is a two part program. What good is "cash" if there is no where to spend it?

My problem is that my admins can see the "donate" button in the POSTBIT, but no one else can. I have checked all of the settings and the Usergroups and I don't see anwhere to set it up so everyone can donate. Any idea? Is donate the only way to send money? Or is there a "sent Cash" feature. Technically, you are not donating when you are buying something.

[Darkwaltz4]

More like three part, but let's not get into it. Not everyone will want a bulky shop(s) with their points system this gives them the option to install as much of the eventual package as they would like, and let's face it: the points earning part needs to be finished first and the most solid part of it. There are other addons you could use this with; pretty popular are the addons for the arcades for example.

Also, I agree with you that it is too complex, however I have incorporated a lot of suggestions, and I have another large list to include as well I am thinking of ways to condense how it works without losing the dynamic functionality it has, largely planned for the next major release of vBCredits which will be rewritten from the core. If you have any ideas to contribute to that effort by all means tell me as I am very interested and open to them

As for your donation problem, sounds like you have set the maximum donation limit to 0 in the usergroup settings of the non-admin groups

Isn't the usergroup thing in vB Commerce or Customiser? I know the first one is in the pay modification vB Limiter or something, but isn't the second one in one of the free shop systems being developed for vB Commerce?

And by written from the core, you mean like vBulletin 2 -> 3 or vBulletin 3 -> as in, nearly everything changed? Like vB Credits 2.0?
